I'm an embedded developer. I find that the absolute minimum is two. I'm often sifting through datasheets, app-notes and other technical documentation as I'm working and when I'm restricted to a single monitor, my alt and tab keys get a real work-out, and my productivity plummets.

For the past while, I've been using a laptop with an external monitor and I have to say, this is one of the absolute worst configurations for my eyes and neck. the setup in this reply seems optimal to me: dev.to/2kabhishek/comment/1pdhi
